Tour & Taxis - Frozen Wetland

1 sound

Spheres can occur performer-less, following a structure of seemingly randomness. The valley topography allows heavy rain or storm to dominate volumetrically, becoming all-pervasively.

The presence of water in all its various forms generates non-anthropocentric activity. On the one hand, there is the possibility of human non-human interaction; on the other hand, a frozen wet land, for example, can install a totally non-anthropocentric sphere.

The wasteland that preceded the park and is still present in one area, offered a listener a rather generated field of randomly generated sets of acoustic waves. Some of this randomness is now somehow replicated by opening up the park to a flexible usage, with people walking, playing on various locations. This gives a pointillist effect, but it is not nearly as unpredictable and layered as the sound space of the wasteland. That can be called shame.

Today, the urban sound space is a significantly more human centric, but it lacks sense of glittering infinity that it possessed for a long time as vacant railway land.
